Codeblocks not working well on Ubuntu 16.10 (keeps freezing)
scott.deagan:
I installed CodeBlocks on Ubuntu 16.10 using:
--- Code: ---sudo apt install codeblocks
--- End code ---
When I start CodeBlocks and then create a new console application, the CodeBlocks IDE will freeze if I start clicking on menu options (such as SETTINGS -> COMPILER, or SETTINGS -> ENVIRONMENT). The freeze doesn't always happen on the first attempt, although many times it does. It's very easy to reproduce and happens quite often (making CodeBlocks virtually unusable for me on Ubuntu 16.10).
The version of CodeBlocks is 16.01 rev 10692.

Can you give us a backtrace for the crash/lockup?
See here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace how to do it.

Hi oBFusCATed - I followed the instructions you linked to:
1. Turned off apport then rebooted.
2. Ran CodeBlocks via gdb as per the instructions.
3. Created a new console application called Test3.
4. Clicked on Settings | Environment.
Result: the environment dialog is displayed, but freezes (see attached screenshot).
Note: I have noticed that this freezing doesn't occur when no project is opened.
I'm going to perform a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04 on a different computer and see if the problem still occurs.

You should type "bt" (withhout quotes) to show the backtrace in gdb

Update: I have just tried to reproduce the problem on a laptop running Kubuntu 16.10, but was not able to - everything worked as expected.
I will try again on a clean install of Ubuntu 16.10 and a clean install of Ubuntu 16.04.
